Somewhere in the back of my closet I found a surprise today. About 3 years ago I made this dress for a party, then soon after discovered I was pregnant, (those two events were not related). It meant that this dress was relegated to the "I'll wear it again in the future" area of the closet, and hadn't been discovered again since. I found both the dress and a pair of suitable shoes, and was actually able to put an outfit together that felt a little more like my style even with the shoes.

The dress is made from a super stretchy lycra blend and has gold foiling in the print. I have no idea what it says ( please someone tell me if it is obscene). It was super easy to make and is super comfortable to wear. The print is like nothing I had seen before in these fabrics and I had to have it immediately.

As for the hair, I achieved this look with the help of a few hair combs to lift and push the top section into some height (no backcombing), and setting the rest in my famous pin curls for an hour or so. It turned out that I even had a matching hair flower in my stash, so a blue rose with requisite skull motive, topped the whole lot off. There is nothing better than being able to treasure hunt your own closet and still surprise yourself at the possibilities that lie within.

PS, if you're still looking for fake grass/bento items, send an email to me, address is on my blog. I'm in rural Japan and have a lot of free time - plus I'd like to say thanks for all the style inspiration!!

DJ Store: thank you.Girl Japan: argg where did it go? Nasty Blogger..Michelle: Thanks very much. :)May: Thank you so much! that makes me want to wear it even more now.Emer: It was a shade of blue and burgundy I'd never seen before and I think it works so well.Meredith: Wow, that is A LOT of reading! Welcome.Floraposte: Nothing special, but it is nice to feel special when it is hot and you just feel like wilting.Wendy B: I could see a dress like this on you too.Top Bird: Thanks. I sometimes get so bored of always taking my pics in the same place, but my schedule is fairly limiting when it comes to taking shots. And I love the way that you can always tell what season it is by watching that tree change.
